This is the view northwest toward Bearspaw reservoir from my deck. Weather rumbles up the Bow River valley so it’s a great spot to watch active weather year round. The weather was beautiful this morning but I had appointments. I scanned for a decent plein air view as I returned from my errands. When I saw the clouds rolling in I hustled home and set up to paint. By then the sky looked completely different, of course! I used a baltic birch panel sealed with amber shellac [but that process is another story!]… it feels completely different than the canvas I’ve been using. I found I needed to add more walnut oil to make the paint adhere. Interesting… just one more tiny step up the learning curve… Cheers!
